Could Lunarpages in fact be the greatest phpBB web host out there?  I would say so.  For those of you who do not know, phpBB is one of the most widely used open source forum solutions to date.  It’s user friendly installation process and easy to use administration panel has made it one of the most popular forum scripts out there too.

At Lunarpages, you have the option to install phpBB manually, via cPanel’s Fantastico script collection or if you have the LPCP control panel, through the WebApps Pool.  Every method listed, is very simple to do.  You can customize phpBB to fit any situation.  With the modifications and styles they provide, you will be able to setup a set of forums that are powerful enough for your needs and look just the way you want them to look.

• Learn More About the phpBB Features

The only big flaw I can find with a script like phpBB is it is very exploit prone.  Due to the fact that it is very popular, it gets hit with security issues more than your average forum script.

Need Help? To help you get started, here are a few tutorials to help:

• How to Install phpBB onto Your Own Hosting Account
• CHMOD Permissions for phpBB
• How to Create a Private Forum

You can find more help and tutorials about phpBB at the web hosting wiki too.  The folks at OpenSourceCMS also provide a demo of phpBB you can try out before you install it on your own web hosting account.

Over the past year or so, a lot of people have enjoyed the write-up on how to create your own .htaccess file from within cPanel, so I figured I would give the same sage words of advice for everybody out there using the LPCP control panel.

To create a .htaccess file in LPCP, log into the LPCP, and then go to your File Manager. Click on the text link labeled, ” public_html” to navigate yourself inside the public_html folder.

Now, in the empty text box to your upper-right type in .htaccess, make sure the drop down box is set to “File” and then hit the button labeled, “Create”.

Your .htaccess file will be created in your public_html folder on your LPCP powered account.

• Find out how to manually create and upload the .htaccess file to your web hosting account!

For more LPCP help, tips, tutorials and more, be sure to check out the web hosting wiki.  Over 340 guides have been published there to help you get more out of your web hosting account at Lunarpages.
